Gaming on 2.6 15'' cMBP?

I'm getting the new MBP maxed out. 8GB ram for now but will increase soon after. I'm looking to run a windows partition for some games like Star Wars Old Republic and some other only pc games. I also play Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. How will these run? How many gigs do you guys leave for a windows partition? I have the 750gb

Those should run fine. They do on my rMBP, which is essentially the same hardware (GT650M, 2.7 i7, 16GB ram). You may need to turn shadows down. That's basically the only thing I generally need to adjust to get things running well.

On a 500GB SSD, I threw ~130GB to Windows, which is actually quite a bit more than I needed to. Probably could shave that down to ~100GB without missing anything, and still have plenty of free space on both sides.

I haven't played any super graphic-intensive games yet, but I have played league of legends on a VMWare Win7 virtual machine, and it runs flawlessly at 1680x1050 on medium-high settings. (And that's in a virtual machine...)

It should be pretty capable if you're running Windows natively (boot camp).
